Pleasantly surprised by this place. The restaurant itself is nice and a nice option for a dinner or date. There were a lot of celebrations going on when we were there. To sum up my takeaway from this place... the food is good. However, you should come here for the ceviche. Everything else is good but standard. The seafood is fresh and good quality. My only complaint is that the aguachile sauces that I got on the side weren't really spicy but I suppose it's understandable for a restaurant like this. I also tried the camarones a la diabla. Decent with a good grilled flavor but superrr salty. Tamarindo margarita was refreshing. Come for the ceviche and drinks!

Itzel was our server on a Friday night and she did great! The ambiance gave me Cabo vibes with airy concept. Outside seating was decorated with tropical plants, and beautiful lighting. I believe lighting is such an important factor when setting any mood. We chose to sit outside which was enclosed with glass windows, and equipped with heaters. The seating was so cozy and I just loved everything about the outside patio. Apparently, they recently went through a big time renovation because the place didn't look this nice at all before. For our meal we ordered: Michelada with Pacifico draft, Mariposa, Tacos Sinaloenses (shrimp, cheese, garlic) which came with 3, Tostada de Ceviche de Camaron, chili salsa on the side, and for dessert.. Churros!! The Mariposa is one of their signature mixologist crafted cocktail. I really enjoyed this one. And I better for $24! Infused blanco tequila, lime, and tonic. It came with dry ice which created such a cool effect. My friend enjoyed the Michelada and claimed it's one of the only ones she can really enjoy. It's not too salty either. The food was so good! The only reason I took a star off is their prices. I'd definitely come back here, especially since we were gifted a free ceviche for our next visit. Live band was on the other side of the patio, we witnessed a first date, a group discussing plans, lots of date nights. This place was filled with all kinds of fun! There is no parking lot. We parked in the Del Taco parking lot across the street which had a security guard. He didn't say anything to us about not parking there. So I'm assuming that's where you're supposed to park for this place!

Service was good، great ambiance and live music. The margarita was amazing however $18 for a small virgin margarita seems expensive . Loved the guacamole appetizer but steak fajitas was just OK $35. It didn't come with usual pico de gallo or any side cabbage/vegetable. The complimentary salsa was too spicy and they didn't have anything mild.

Where do I start... everything g here is top notch. The service, the ambiance and the star of the show.. the food. I had a fish fillet with "cucaracha" shrimp on top in a garlic sauce that I could have easily drank with a straw and a green salad. I'm on Keto and this was perfect. Also tried some of their super champachana coctel. Everything was delicious and was even given a coupon for a free agua chile to use on my next visit. Will definitely be back!

Came here by pure luck on a Saturday morning. We were greeted and seated right away. My group consisted of 4. Our drink order was taken within minutes and shortly after we placed the food order. Our waitress was Lupita, she definitely made our experience even a better one. She was super attentive and made sure our drinks were filled to the top. Great music choice and to our surprise they had mariachis. They take song requests so don't be shy to ask for your favorite song. The food came and it was delicious. Very tasty and the food portions are worth the money. We enjoyed everything that was ordered. From the appetizer to the main dish and let's not forget the chips and salsa you get while waiting. Chefs kiss! Overall, it was an awesome experience and most definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

This was our first visit to Mariscos Choix in Downey and it definitely will not be our last. We were looking for a restaurant with an outdoor patio and dog friendly to celebrate our puppy's 14th birthday. Since it was raining, finding a place with a covered patio (not just umbrellas) that would also be warm wasn't easy. Mariscos not only had a warm enclosed patio, but also a warm and friendly atmosphere, from the front desk to Rosalinda, our server, and the rest of the support staff. The food was excellent, from the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa, fried fish appetizer (highly recommend), pollo fajitas, shrimp tostada, and shrimp taco, to the fantastic margaritas. Thank you, Rosalinda for recommending the cucumber margarita. It was perfect, and I will definitely try the spicy cucumber the next time. It has been a long time since my wife and I (plus our two adult children) have had a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. We both would give a 10 out of 10 for the food, service, and atmosphere. Thank you all for helping us celebrate our Bella's 14th birthday!

A family member wanted to go eat some good Mexican food with a margarita. I searched yelp for the area we were in and Mariscos Choix popped up. The restaurant is on the busy Firestone street with limited parking. You couldn't tell what it is until you get inside. It's a gorgeous spot hidden on the main corner. Seating and space gives me a mix of Latin/ Cuban vibes inside. We sat in small seating section that was next to a couch. The hand held menu is in Spanish, i tried to use my Spanish knowledge from Duolingo lol Eventually we asked for an English menu which they had available via qr code on the table. I ordered the fajitas mixtas which had steak, shrimp, and fish with bell peppers. It was so tasty. The rice and beans with healthy and light as well. My guest ordered the fried fish fillet with a salad and a side of rice and beans. The fish was delightfullll. It tastes like panko crusted tilapia maybe another fish. We could have ate a whole plate of just that fish. We ordered margaritas and they had good flavor. Unfortunately they were quite expensive for each one, so we savored them as dessert.
